Picard, Steadfast Captain

Modern demands immediate impact or exceptional synergy; this six-mana combat creature offers neither, unlike the format's efficient creature threats.

Could be wrong if An unusually effective cheat-into-play or counter-combo shell could make its ETB and attack triggers relevant.

This is far too mana-intensive and removable for Legacy, with no immediate card advantage, disruption, or credible existing shell.

Could be wrong if A future fast-mana creature shell could value the repeated counter trigger more than expected.

Counters decks can use repeatable distribution, but six mana for a 4/4 without protection, cards, or immediate table-wide impact is highly replaceable.

Could be wrong if Commander-specific counter payoffs or attack-trigger synergies may make the repeated two counters more valuable.

With another creature in play, Picard immediately adds substantial permanent stats and snowballs on attacks; its six-mana cost and weak empty-board floor prevent bomb status.

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and creature sizing could make a six-drop either too slow or substantially stronger.
